Shadow Education Minister Michelle O’Byrne has called on the Liberal Government to rule out closing the Big Picture school at City Campus in Launceston.

“This school has been an outstanding success and has led the way in personalised learning.

“The Big Picture philosophy is recognised internationally and City Campus has acted as a flagship in the role out of the program across Australia since 2011.

“Closing the City Campus would be an extremely short sighted decision from the Liberal Government.

“Labor will stand with students, parents and teachers to see this crucial school remain open.

“I urge Minister Rockliff to meet with the people who will be affected by his decision.”
